The physical residence of the child in divorce and paternity cases address the issue of where a child will live. In Broward County and Palm Beach County, Florida, there is a presumption that rotating custody is not in a child's best interest; however, parents have the right to create their own timeshare schedule and submit it to the court for approval. The Florida statute recognizes a need to define a "primary residence" for the child. The primary parent is the one with whom the child resides most often with timeshare provided to the secondary residential parent. The Fifteen Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida created sample timeshare schedules that are frequently used in Palm Beach County and Rebekah Brown-Wiseman, Esq. often also uses these schedules as a starting point for negotiating custody arrangements in Broward County, Florida. Other factors to be considered in divorce and paternity matters include the right of first refusal, additional notice requirements, specific pick up and drop off criteria, additional holidays relevant to your family and appropriate timeshare schedules to fit your particular child's school schedule and your work schedule.
